A Sad Sad Day For Me!

[Yawn]

In response to 2 suspensions running together, I can assure you it happens. Maybe just a matter of luck though

[stolen_s15]

If you genuinley need to drive to support a family member then Im prety shure you can aply for an extraordinary licence. Defenitley know that if you loose your licence and need to drive for work then you can get an extraordinary licence to go to and from work after the first month of the suspension has expired

THIS IS INCORRECT.

Once you have lost your lisence THE ONLY RECOURSE you have is to challenge it in court, on the basis that you are not guilty of the crime. That means that you can't try and make up some excuse/hardship story about why you did what you did, or why you must drive. Its only done on the basis that you did not commit the crime for which you are being sanctioned.

There are no ways to get a work/hardship/whateverotherexcuse permit lisence in Victoria.

[jake33]

why you would be driving around in a skyline in Noble Park is beyond me anyway...

Sorry to say but what you stated seems right to me.

If you loose( well.. gain ) your demerits point its because you have done something wrong. Simple as that, and to loose 6 in one night... well enough said above.

Yes, but only if the judge says so.

VicRoads cant just "slap it together". It must be applied by the courts, and clearly wasn't in this instance

granthem, that picture is retarded!

granthem, that picture is retarded!

I think the implications hold it's true value lol

"where ever the pedo bear puts it" got my chuckling at 12am

granthem that pedo bear is quite creative.... very suss

for the laugh

Noble Park = City of Greater Dandenong = New ByLaws coming soon = Crushed Cars...

Members of the City of Greater Dandenong "hobnobs" are trying to put through some new laws... ...which means they'll demand the local cops take your car and crush it... ...It's happened in parts of the U.S. as we all know...

Their trying to take the "Hoon Laws" that one step...

I work for Dandenong and I hate getting stopped by the cops almost every day while working... ...They don't think I have a job because I'm always driving around... ...Springvale guys aren't so bad... ...Because father runs that station and the 'Line is parked in their yard sometimes...

FYI... ...KNOW more than just the state laws... ...Know the local ones as well...

You best go back and check those facts, if you can prove that losing your liscense will cost you your job they will give you a permit to drive during certain hours and only for certain reasons, another truck driver at work is permitted to do that, the permit does not cover him getting to and from work in his car, just work hours in a truck.

Man, at home, I need to drive as my mother is ill and partially blind so she can't drive, only I can drive her to the market and stuff...

Should've thought about that before you broke the law.

wtf were u doing to lose 6 points in one nite????

no offence but im not surprised........i doubt u lost 6 points because u went to noble park.......u proberly did some stupid shit while at noble park......

tough luck buddy, and honestly good riddens. its f*k heads like u who f*k it up for everyone else.

6 points....i can only imagine wtf u were doin...

out

Fellas,

Firstly, it is really much appreciated that everyone has given their time and thoughts - it is much appreciated, really.

Now, good question about the 6 demerit points thing... it's been nearly a year or so now so forgive me if it doesn't stack up entirely, but here's what basically happened...

I'm still on my god-damn P's because 4 years ago I was involved in a car accident and, long story short, got my license cancelled for 12 months - after this 12 months, I had to go for the driving test etc again and got my license back only to find I had to go back on my P's plates for 3 years as per every other newbie that's just turned 18!! arrrrhhhh but ok, let's more on...

So, I get my license back around 2 years ago and decided to buy myself a Honda Accord, it came with some engine mods and I drive it as usual; within the first 3 months, racked up camera speeding fines - the reason being the wheels that this Honda Accord had were 2 inches bigger than stock (fark me if I knew) - so I kept going like 5-8 K's over all the time, bang copped 4 demerit points.

As you guys know, on P' plates you only have 5 demerit points for the period of your 3 year probation (something like that) - so I got 1 point left... a few months past, then I accidentally ran a red light - and that was it... VicRoads sends me this really nice green-looking letter giving me two options 1) hand the license in for 4 months or 2) be really good on a 1 point bond.

Half a year past and everything was fine - then I had to drive to my fiance's place in Noble Park for some family gathering (with my Mum in the car) - on the way back... here's what the 6 points were...

I drive up to the Princess Highway area to head to the City, I see cops everywhere - I shit myself and did a U turn to go to another route, the cops saw me and ran after me as if I was a criminal (2 cop cars chased after me) and told me to follow them - so they take me to a quiet road, do all those random tests then give me a fine worth 3 demerit points and a fine for "driving on the opposite direction of a one way road" - I mean, for f**k's sake, it was empty and I just needed to do a quick U-turn - but fair enough, I was wrong so I copped it on the chin... so he fines me and tells me I'll lose three demerit points and sends me off... at this point, I knew I was f**ked already... so I drove of anyway... then the farken copper radios his mates, 3 cop cars came chasing after me like 500 metres down the road from where the first coppers booked me... the told me to open my hood up - and defected me for my BOV, POD, Boost Controller and wheels being too low... new law, apparently, says you lost 2 demerit points for a defective vehicle - so that's around 5 points now... then the bastard walks around my car and points out that my P's were not displayed clearly... which they were, I had P's at the front and the back - but he said they're not bright enough.. so we had a verbal argument but he forced the fine on me and that was it... another 1 point for that... I had fines coming out of my arse... and that was the end... oh worth adding that I had written to the traffic authorities and all were denied so I had to pay up... once I had paid, Vicroads then sent me a letter about my 6 months suspension...

Then came the Magistrates court - from now where, the Victorian police sends me this summons about something that had happened years ago - I went to court, fined $1,900 and given an extra 1 month suspension - so that's 7 months... fair enough, so this ends this March... now, they tell me that I gotta do the time for the 4 months as I had broken my bond....

Aarrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well, I guess I gotta do the time... but surely, I must do something as I need to drive to help my mother out... does anyone know anything or anyone that can help me please?

Thanks all.

sell your skyline and use the money for taxi's for her ?

[nice 28]

Why did you do a u-turn when you saw the police? That's obviously suspicious behaviour? Or was this on the night on the Noble Park Riots or something?

Surely you would have noticed that you were always travelling faster than other cars.. 5ks over is quite a noticeable difference when your driving in a set speed zone.

I know that was a dumb move - I freaked, and yes, it was during the riots bullshit period - I should have kept on, they would have still clubbered me, but at least it would have been less, I guess...

Damn it... seriously, I am farken so killing myself... you guys don't know how frustrating it is!

[R31Nismoid]

Frustration caused by your own actions... nothing anyone can do about your choices that you haven't learnt from yet.

[khunjeng]

sounds like your farked without court intervention, also sounds like you have a pretty farked history and sounds like you are on your Ps still.

mate, Justin911 had the only good advice so far, sell you car and use the money for taxis in the meantime...and buy a sk8 board.

Or ride a bike and use public transport. Saves money on fuel and gives u the exercise

My mom can't drive and is forced to use public transport. I mean.....I can't drive her around forever since I'm getting married and stuff and you have your on life to worry about as well.

[_Ryan_]

sell car and use money for a cab for your mum,

get your fiance` to drive your mum,

I thought if you lost any points in the first 3 months then your p's were cancelled?

[Yawn]

Well you can't exactly say your car is subtle, so especially during that riot-period, coupled with your suspicious u-turning..

Don't worry though you're not alone in that stupid u-turn thing, I did it years back and got pwned big time too
